Great plane, FLIGHT JOURNAL did a  diddly on it last year or year before.  I think the author that flew it said that we'd have won the war 3 years early with no nukes had  it been available.

ROFL!

Whew, a climb rate so fast (6400 fpm) that aerial bends would occur?

Believe it or not I've experienced this in AH, for when my wife gets fed up with me sitting in front of a monitor with a constant droning noise, her slaps to the head release nitrogen bubbles in the cerebral cortex region. What a rush!  

I want one NOW.

Be careful what you ask for... do you really want me to bug y'all here more than I already do?
